Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters How does a hot loaded 6.5 Swede compare to a 25-06?

I had a Rem 700 BDL in 25-06. It was a very nice rifle and I killed a few whitetails with it. For some reason I sold it, and later bought a CZ550 in 6.5x55. It isn't a light rifle but it is a solid, quality, good shooting rifle. I have used it mostly over the last 10 years or so.

I highly recommend the rifle and the 6.5x55.
